Twenty Four Years Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEDFG| Twenty four years remind the tears of my eyes | A |
| Bury the dead for fear that they walk to the grave in labour | B |
| In the groin of the natural doorway I crouched like a tailor | C |
| Sewing a shroud for a journey | D |
| By the light of the meat eating sun | E |
| Dressed to die the sensual strut begun | E |
| With my red veins full of money | D |
| In the final direction of the elementary town | F |
| I advance as long as forever is | G |

Write your comment about Twenty Four Years poem by Dylan Thomas
Gina M Montoya: My father, Jose Montoya, had me memorize this poem at the age of 4 (1959)! It was the summer before I started kindergarten. Pretty dark for a young girl. The immediate effect was great delight by my teachers--in me and my handsome father, a young college student at the College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, CA. It came to have the most profound meaning years after his death-with each line an answer to my unasked questions. He was a visual artist, songwriter/singer, guitarist, high school teacher, college professor, civil rights activist, and Poet Laureate of Sacramento. He shared his love of Dylan Thomas with me and Dylan will always be a part of our story!
